The Epstein curse continues to plague Gates.
We have been reporting here on TGP on how Bill Gates’ ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are causing him problems that go beyond the mere reputational damage and family breakdown.
Today, it arises that billionaire investor Warren Buffett will not make his usual mid-year donation to the Gates Foundation for the first time in 20 years.
Buffet reportedly awaits more details about the charity’s links to Epstein.
Bill Gates told lawmakers in a recent interview that Jeffrey Epstein threatened him subtly over his affairs but did not overtly blackmail him, according to a transcript released on June 23.
Epstein in 2013 “made some veiled references that made me wonder whether he had become aware” of one of the affairs, Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, told the House of Representatives Oversight Committee on June 10.
Epstein later sent a reimbursement request to Gates, according to Gates. The request was for expenses that Epstein said he paid for one of the women with whom Gates had an affair.
“I viewed it as a tactic to reengage with me,” Gates said. “I’d never asked him to do anything with respect to the person we’re discussing, so I was rather surprised. That was the first time I knew explicitly that he’d become aware of that affair.”
Gates said he directed staff members not to pay Epstein.
Still, Gates maintained that Epstein did not blackmail him.
“He never blackmailed me, but looking at these emails, it raises a serious probability that he contemplated blackmailing me,” Gates said, referring to documents released by the Department of Justice in January.
Gates also said: “He never sent me anything that I would call blackmail. As I’ve said, he made veiled references to things like we should all want to be friends.
“Now that I see the January release of documents, it appears that in many cases he, at least in emails to himself, was sort of rehearsing how either he or he coaching someone else might choose to blackmail me, but none of those messages were ever sent to me.”
Gates had said through a spokesperson in 2023 that Epstein tried to “leverage a past relationship” to threaten him, without providing details.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in federal prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
Gates has said he met with Epstein multiple times from 2011 through 2014, and that he ended the relationship in 2014 after concluding that Epstein could not deliver on claims that he could raise billions for global health efforts.
Gates said in his opening statement that he should have never met with Epstein in the first place but that he never witnessed any indication Epstein was involved in criminal conduct.
It’s not just about the sex.
Two weeks ago, the US House Oversight Committee grilled tech billionaire Bill Gates over his association with late convicted sex offender and suspected human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein – and came out with new information over Gates’ affairs and Epstein’s efforts to blackmail him.
Yesterday, the transcripts of his testimony were released, showing the former richest man in the world named three women he had extramarital affairs with, two of them Russian.
The Telegraph reported:
“The billionaire Microsoft co-founder told the House oversight committee that he had affairs with two Russian women, naming them as Mila Antonova, a bridge player, and Karima Nigmatulina, a nuclear physicist.
Mr. Gates later admitted to a third extramarital affair with another female scientist [Dr Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt] following scrutiny from US congressmen during the hours-long testimony on June 10, a transcript published on Tuesday revealed.”
He continues to deny ever seeing Epstein’s abuse, repeating his line that it was “a mistake to spend time with him”.
He as much as admitted to having confided in a mutual friend of his and Epstein’s that ‘he feared he may have caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of the women’.
“In his closed-door testimony delivered to the US Congress, he suggested that Epstein “contemplated blackmailing me” after learning of his unfaithfulness with the two Russian women.
[…] Mr. Gates, who testified to Congress voluntarily, insisted that while Epstein did not successfully blackmail him about the affairs, ‘it looks like Mr. Epstein’s brainstorming was going in that direction’.”
Bill Gates has long been one of the most admired people in the world, especially since he stepped down from his role running Microsoft to devote himself and much of his fortune to philanthropy. That reputation has been tarnished recently, however, by revelations of the billionaire’s close relation with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and exposes on his own fraught relationships with women.
On the eve of Gates’ private testimony with Congress scheduled for tomorrow, a trove of federal whistleblower documents provided to RealClearInvestigations is renewing questions about how Gates money has bought what critics complain is an untoward influence on government health policy. For almost a quarter of a century, his main vehicle of power, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), allowing Gates to shape the direction of the country’s health strategy in ways that have benefitted his own priorities and pet causes while polishing his image as a benevolent global do-gooder.
At a time of growing concern about the power of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman, Gates’ efforts stand out. Instead of lobbying federal agencies for specific policies, Gates leveraged his wealth to work inside the government, partnering with high-ranking NIH officials to steer taxpayer research funding and design scientific policies for several federal programs.
The cache of several dozen emails and documents, made public for the first time by an NIH whistleblower, reinforces previous reports detailing Gates’s extensive influence over U.S. biomedical research. During the height of the COVID pandemic, Kate Elder, a senior vaccines policy adviser for Doctors Without Borders, complained to Politico, “What makes Bill Gates qualified to be giving advice and advising the U.S. government on where they should be putting the tremendous resources?”
Emails and internal plans, for example, show that the NIH – the world’s largest funder of biomedical research – gave the Gates Foundation first billing for the joint workshops and meeting held on federal property.
Gates, along with Pfizer CEO and Dutch officials, accused of knowingly promoting unsafe vaccines; attempts to evade trial rejected as November 27th hearing approaches.
Dutch courts have officially ordered Bill Gates to stand trial over allegations related to COVID-19 vaccines. Seven plaintiffs who suffered vaccine-related injuries claim that Gates, along with other high-profile figures, deliberately misled the public into receiving injections that they ‘knew or should have known’ were neither safe nor effective.
The lawsuit also names former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and several key figures from the Dutch COVID response team, accusing them of complicity in the deception.
Gates attempted to evade the lawsuit, arguing that his status as a U.S. citizen should shield him from Dutch legal proceedings. However, the court ruled otherwise, stating that Gates’ close involvement with other defendants who are under Dutch jurisdiction made him subject to trial in the Netherlands.
Now, Gates and his legal team are facing mounting pressure as they prepare to confront these serious accusations in court, with the next hearing scheduled for November 27th.
Big tech billionaire Bill Gates is reportedly set to give testimony regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during an in-person transcribed interview before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee.
In a letter addressed to Gates back on March 3, Republican Chairman James Comer of Kentucky wrote that the Justice Department’s release of Epstein-related documents prompted renewed interest in the Microsoft co-founder.
Comer laid out what the committee was investigating, then quickly pivoted to Gates, requesting his presence in Washington, D.C.
Comer wrote that the committee’s main focus is on potential “mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation into Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell,” along with the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death, sex trafficking rings, and whether or not these two individuals used powerful contacts to shield themselves from legal consequences.
“Due to public reporting, documents released by the Department of Justice, and documents obtained by the Committee, the Committee believes you have information that will assist in its investigation,” the Republican lawmaker stated. “Accordingly, we request your testimony at an in-person transcribed interview on May 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET in Washington, D.C.”
He added, “The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate ‘any matter’ at ‘any time’ under House Rule X.1 To schedule your appearance for the interview or ask related questions, please contact Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Majority staff.”
CBS News confirmed that Gates will appear before the Oversight Committee for questioning on June 10, citing a “source familiar with the plans.”
A discussion between Dr. Drew and researcher Sayer Ji examined allegations surrounding the Epstein Files, focusing on relationships involving Jeffrey Epstein and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, as well as broader claims about financial and philanthropic structures linked to those associations.
The exchange occurred during a conversation in which the two discussed the wider implications of documents and reporting connected to Epstein, whose relationships with prominent figures have been the subject of ongoing scrutiny.
Dr. Drew opened the discussion by referring to what he described as a connection between Epstein and Gates.
“The Epstein gates axis, which I think is a fascinating construct,” Dr. Drew said.
Ji responded by arguing that the significance of the revelations extends beyond the well-known personal scandals associated with Epstein. He said the larger issue involves networks and institutional structures connected to Epstein’s activities.
“There’s a lot of scandal, and there were personal relationships that deserve attention, but it’s really the infrastructure that has been exposed that is most stunning,” Ji said.
Ji continued by describing what he said were business and legal ties between Epstein and Gates, suggesting those relationships were part of a broader framework.
Something unexpected has happened on cable TV, and it’s a sign that disaster is coming for tech billionaire Bill Gates.
In the latest tranche of the Epstein Files, emails drafted by Jeffrey Epstein suggest that Gates contracted an STD from sleeping with “Russian girls” and had planned to secretly medicate his then-wife, Melinda.
Bill has denied the allegations, but Melinda interestingly did not. Instead, she expressed “unbelievable sadness” reflecting on their marriage and Gates’ association with Epstein.
When asked about this during an interview with 9 News Australia, Bill Gates said he doesn’t know what Epstein was thinking with the email, suggesting Epstein may have been trying to “attack” him in some way.
The reporter challenged Gates on why this accusation against him wasn’t true when other Epstein file revelations were accurate.
Gates sidestepped the question and asserted his own version of events.
“It’s factually true that I was only at dinners. I never went to the island. I never met any women,” he replied.
Perhaps it’s unfair. After all, the most damning email in the Jeffrey Epstein treasure trove was one that Epstein sent to himself.
From The Times of England:
Bill Gates planned to give his wife antibiotics without her knowledge fearing he had caught a sexually transmitted infection from “Russian girls”, Jeffrey Epstein claimed in an email that was released by the US Department of Justice on Friday.
Epstein, the late paedophile financier, alleged that the Microsoft billionaire had asked him to procure the medication in what appeared to be draft emails he sent to himself, addressed to “Bill”, on July 18, 2013.
Nonetheless, the salaciousness of the email made it go viral:
“To add insult to the injury you then subsequently with tears in your eyes, implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis,” Epstein wrote.
The documents suggest that some of the emails may have been drafts of a letter of resignation that Epstein wrote in the voice of Boris Nikolic, an adviser to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One of those emails that Epstein apparently sent to himself spoke of being “caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill”.
It said: “In my role as his right hand man I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do things that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal.”
He wrote: “From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall for bridge tournaments, as I am a medical doctor, but have no prescriptions writing ability.”
Bill Gates slept with Russian girls, got a sexually-transmitted disease and asked for antibiotics to slip to his then-wife Melinda, extraordinary new Jeffrey Epstein files from the Department of Justice allege.
The late pedophile financier made the astonishing claims about the Microsoft billionaire in emails he sent to himself on July 18, 2013.
The lengthy message lashed out at Gates for ending their friendship and says: ‘TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis.’
Earlier in the same missive, Epstein said he had been ‘dismayed beyond comprehension’ by Gates’s decision to ‘disregard our friendship developed over the last 6 years.’
The shocking emails appear to be drafts of a letter intended to be sent by Gates’ then-top advisor Boris Nikolic, around his resignation from the Microsoft billionaire’s charitable foundation.
Appearing to write from the point of view of Nikolic, another email on the same morning offered his resignation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
He wrote: ‘I have been caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill…
‘In my role as his right hand man I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do thing (sic) that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal…
‘From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trusts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall fro (sic) bridge touramnts (sic), as I am a medial doctor, but have no presriptions (sic) writing ability.
The shocking claims about the Microsoft founder have not been verified and come from a new tranche of hundreds of thousands of documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday morning.
Gates has angrily denied allegations in a rare statement to the Daily Mail. His spokesperson said: ‘These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.
‘The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.’
